quently making pretty forty. His
strokes may not be said to be of the
fancy sort, but he goes in to win every
time.
II. P. Robinson, the only Minneapolis
member of the Minnesota club, is prob
ably the next best player in Minnesota,
although l.. p. Ordway and J. C. Wall
are close on his heels. Mr.. Robinson
also plays very strong game, but he
also plays what can be called very
pretty game, getting in some very fancy
strokes now and then.
LucluS L. Grdway at one time was re-
garded as the champion of st. Paul, but
during the last two years he has been
sadly out of practice.
j. G. Wall, the eX-captain, is another
very good player. His strongest post is
at the net in double. At times he
plays very formidable game, but he
cannot be considered very sure player,
.as he frequently calculates too highly
upon his opponents skill.
John ii. DOebler is one of the few left
handed players in the club. He not
only has full control of the racket with
his skillful left, but he surprises his an

expected. Mr.. Doebler has very little
chance to practice, but what time he has
put IN has given the indication that he
has the material in him for very good
tennis player.
E. |. Frost is great lover of the game.
He would get up from his breakfast to
play. If he could leave his gas office a
little more and appropriate a court at
Hamline a little more, he might make
the best player in the club. He is
stronger, however. in double than in
single.
w. II. Lightner is to be admitted as
one OF the very best and strongest play
erS IN the club, but he has been singu-
larry unlucky in tournaments, unlucky
enough to have been drawn every time
against the very strongest opponent,
therefore his career has not been very
satisfactory.
Jud Howe at times shows remarkable
strength and great skill, and he is noted
for his very swift overland serve. How
ever. he has not yet been given an op-
portunIty to distinguish himself.
Morton Barrows two years ago dis
played very great strength with his

all the playing of the Minnesota club.
There is room for two more courts, and
the Halcyon club, which lost its grounds,
corner of Summit and Western ave-
nues, on the Rogers and Robertson
property, and ON account of that has
fallen out of practice, is contemplating
putting in one or two courts along
with the Minnesota, with which club
it is about to unite. There are about
eighteen good players in the Halcyon
club, all gentlemen, for the club eX-
cluded ladies, and these eighteen play
erS will make a very desirable acquiSi-
ton to the Minnesota club. If the Hal

the west, there is fine pavilion, built
this year. There is also a good drive
way around the grounds, starting from
Smelling avenue. The Minnesota club
was so well financially managed last
year that no more than the regular dues
were necessary to meet expenses. Its
Initiation fee is $40, and annual dues
amount to Sc. A tournament was to
have been given on the Fourth of July,
but so many other things having been
fixed upon for the national holiday it
was decided to postpone it until later in
the season. The tournament will be held
at Lake Minnetonka,it is said, land will be
opened to the Northwest. Last year the
Minnesota club won the laurels at the

birmingham Greatly Excited Over
the Flight of Four Lovers on the
Same Train.
birmingham, Conn.,, has been greatly
excited for some days past over double
elOpement that occurred recently.
Henry Clayton, married man, and
Mrs. Al Hanchett and Robert j. Galpin
and Nellie CARING disappeared together,
and nothing has been heard from either
of the couples since. Clayton, whOw
employed in an organ factory, has been
known as good deal of a maSher for
the past year or two. When not at work
he always dressed in the most noisy
style he could attain and seemed to
make business of trying to break as
many feminine hearts as possible
Some months ago he happened to meet
Mrs. Hanchett on the street. He was
struck with her appearance and immed-
lately tried to get up a filtration, in
which he was quite successful. Mrs.
Hanchett is tall, handsomely formed
woman, with pretty face, and Clayton
was much charmed with her, while she,
in turn, seemed to be equally facinated
by Clayton's seductive smile and masher-
like manners. The Irritation was con-
tlnued and became so marked that it
was town talk. Clayton and Mrs. Han
chett acted as much like two young
lovers as possible, and seemed to be in
each others company all the time.
Finally Clayton proposed that they
elOpe, and as Mrs. Hanchett was will
ing they took the first convenient
train for New Haven, whence
they probably went to New York,
Before going Mrs. Hanchett took pos
session of several thousand dollars
worth of diamonds and 81 800 in money.
Clayton has a wife and two children,
and Mrs. Hanchett also has children,
which she left in her husbands care.
Robert j. Galpin and Miss Nellie
CARING, it is thought, left town on the
same train with Clayton and Mrs.
Hanchett. They are supposed to be in
New Haven at present. Galpin, who
has been married for three or four
years. has made love to Miss CARING
for over six months past and had been
trying hard all the time, it is said, to in
duce her to run away with him. Miss
CARING, who is described as fine-look-
ing girl of nineteen, at last consented.
Galpin telling her that Mrs. Hanchett
was about to elope with her lover, and
so, without bidding any of her friends
goodbye, she packed small valise and
started off with Galpin. The latter
leaves wife in destitute circumstances.

A PERFECT DAY.

A light lies on the hills, the far-off hills
A thousand rays fash from the shining rills,
And sunbeams fall in every vale
No clouds to-day, no misty veil,
But light, glad sunlight everywhere.
The bright-hued flowers, full of sweet sur
prise,
Awake and greet me with their laughing
eyes;
The woodpaths show, twixt banks of green,
Where feet have pressed the sods between;
And zephyrs sofoly pass DER all
The leaf-crowned trees are filled with life
and song;
The clover seas invite busy throng
OF laden bees to share their bloom,
And freightEthe air with sweet perfume
That wins me to the outdoor world.
o, royal day, for mead and woodland
plumed!
The genial sunbeams reach the dells per-
fumed
With ferny fronds, and mint that grows
In spray-damp soil, yet scarcely shows
Its toothsome green to careless eyes.
o, perfect summer day! thy golden hours
Too soon shall wane and pass, for wish of
ours
o, were ali days like this, like thee!
Hush, heart, I'll take just as they be
